  1. She wasn't "holding" the knife: she attacked and tried to stab one girl before the officer told her to back up, then she attacked another girl while her male friend kicked the first girl on the head: she was just about to plunge the knife into the second girl despite numerous warnings from the officer. The second girl is alive now because the officer prevented that stabbing.

  2. Kudos to the officer. And yes, if that had been me I probably would have been distracted by the POS kicking the girl on the ground and may not have even seen the imminent stabbing. I hope the officer's dept supports him.

  3. You can't de-escalate it as it had already gone past that stage: the girl in pink was literally milliseconds away from being murdered before the officer neutralised the threat.

  4. In fact he had probably only half a second to decide. I hope his department will support him and I hope the justice system will show courage in this case.

  5. I'm heartened that the other young girl's life was saved. I'm afraid I don't have much sympathy for the would be murderess who lost her life.

  6. Let's hope his department supports him and the justice system shows courage in this case. And I hope he won't be affected too badly by this: he saved a life.
